Living in Blokker: a village with the peace of the countryside and the city within cycling distance
Blokker feels like an independent village, even though it falls administratively under the municipality of Hoorn. The neighbourhood has its own core with local amenities: a supermarket, a primary school, a sports club and a community centre. Children can go to school without having to take the car. For more extensive shopping or retail therapy, you can easily drive to the centre of Hoorn, about five kilometres away. The neighbourhood therefore attracts many families and older people: the largest age group is 65-plus (over 1,400 residents), but the 45 to 65 age group is also well represented. First-time buyers are in the minority, which is partly related to the higher prices.

One resident describes it as follows: "Nice quiet neighbourhood with everything close to home. Nothing has ever happened to compromise safety." That same resident points to the active neighbourhood life: activities are regularly organised and residents receive a monthly information bulletin about the neighbourhood. On the neighbourhood page of Blokker you will find all resident experiences, sub-scores and neighbourhood data together. Accessibility and amenities score a 9.0 respectively, which is high for a small centre outside the city centre.

Who is buying in Blokker a good choice for?
Blokker best suits movers, families with children and people who consciously choose peace and space without completely letting go of the city. First-time buyers find it difficult: with an average purchase price of over €513,000 and a lower limit of €360,000, a home in Blokker is rarely a first step on the housing market. Also take into account additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for non-first-time buyers) and notary costs. If buying is not feasible now, consider the rental homes in Blokker as an alternative. Be honest with yourself about overbidding: in this segment, that is not an exception.

It's a nice neighbourhood. Nothing has ever happened that made it less safe since I've been living here. Also, every now and then something is organised by the neighbourhood, and every few weeks (I think every month but I'm not sure) we get a booklet with all sorts of information about the neighbourhood, nice stories, and what there is to do and so on. Many people also have a dog, so there is often some poop on the grass, but that's not too bad either. Furthermore, almost everything you need is within walking distance: supermarket, bakery, Action, butcher, fishmonger, bicycle repair shop, pub, hairdresser, church, pizza place, primary schools, playgrounds, etc. And of course the people who live there are very friendly.
